Prince Disk TiCR Ultegra Di2 with Most Wheels Road Bike 2023 The Prince is a cutting-edge cycling marvel crafted from Torayca T700 carbon fiber. This lightweight and rigid material set the stage for a bike redesigned with a keen focus on aerodynamics, optimal power transfer, and the distinctive Pinarello ride experience. Drawing inspiration from its race-centric counterpart, the Dogma F12, the Prince incorporates numerous unique features, creating a synergy that elevates its performance. A key highlight of the Prince’s evolution is its pursuit of aerodynamic excellence. Embracing Pinarello’s TICR (Total Internal Cable Routing) system, previously exclusive to the Dogma F12, the Prince conceals brake and gear cabling within the frame, bar, and stem. This innovation results in an impressive 85% reduction in cable and wire aerodynamic drag. The enlarged headtube, necessary for the TICR system, optimizes the frontal area, enhancing clean airflow. Additionally, the adoption of the Dogma F12’s features, such as the ‘ForkFlaps™’ and an enhanced Onda fork shape, further refines stable air flow over the bike. Beyond aerodynamics, the Prince delivers enhanced strength, versatility, and a superior ride feel. The redesigned frame features squared chainstays, boosting lateral stiffness by 10%, and an enlarged downtube for increased strength. Inspired by the Dogma F12’s asymmetric design, the Prince ensures optimal power transfer, minimizing energy loss on the road. Pinarello’s eLink™ system, first seen on the Dogma F10, integrates the Shimano Di2 junction within the downtube, ensuring a sleek appearance and easy accessibility. Despite its racing DNA, the Prince offers a slightly more relaxed geometry than its Grand Tour-winning sibling, maintaining a balance of speed, responsiveness, and stability. Notable features of the Prince include Torayca Carbon T700 construction, a FlatBack profile, concave downtube, TiCR™ Total Internal Cable Routing, E-Link™ system, and a Fork ONDA with ForkFlap™. The bike’s design reflects a harmonious blend of aerodynamic prowess, structural strength, and an enjoyable riding experience, solidifying its status as a top-tier cycling companion.
